After a gazillion pages, has the controversial Sacred Mushroom and the Cross book been discussed?

One of the original translators of the Dead Sea Scrolls by John Marco Allegro reached the conclusion that the Bible and thus Judaism and Christianity are largely based on a psychedelic fertility cult, where members saw God and other visions due to the imbibing of magic mushrooms

Apropos of that did you know the expression to 'get pissed' or 'be on the piss' come from the Old English pre-christian days when the shaman of the village took magic muhrooms to facilitate his connection with the spirits.
Mushrooms stay in the system for a long time and when it was snowing the next day when he went outside to pee the ne'er-do-wells of the village would come and eat the yellow snow to get high.

That Clinical Psychiatrist Jordan Peterson fellow of Cathy Newman fame seems to use the Bible a lot for his advice, I'm not sure if he's a Christian or not, though find using religious texts for allegorical references on life a bit of a hot potato. As Higgsy once eloquently put it - You can find as much depth in a Noddy and Big Ears book.

I suppose the Bible may have been the original great text to support good works, tho it seems leading a good life dates back to the Egyptians Book of the Dead and perhaps even earlier.

I like his philosophy that if life is really pointless and no-one has anything better to do with their time then they may as well aim for the greatest good. When you really get down to it I think there's a lot of truth in that claim.

Newcastle have just taken on loan Islam Slimani and apparently, 'his arrival means we now have Islam, Mohamed, Jesus and a Christian on our books, as seek some sort of divine intervention to keep us up.....'

Talk about hedging your bets.

Mind if they stay up then sorry atheists I really will believe in miracles.

Some people are very selfish. Most people have a desire to do the best for themselves and their family, but are prepared to be charitable to a lesser or greater extent. I'd put myself in that category.

This is what I call Christians' hypocrisy. You can't have them both. Either you put yourself ahead of others or you put others ahead. Doing some charity after you've been dishonest is what Christians are used to. It's hypocrisy.

If it's what most if not all Christians do it's not generalisation. It's a fact. People who have a faith with words then do the opposite of what that faith says don't really have a faith. It's more like a hope of having another life after this one but they don't want to put in facts what their faith says
